Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Released at the commercial apex of the folk revival, Jazz Impressions of Folk Music far transcends its cash-grab origins. Harold Land reinvents traditional favorites... And although Land's name sits above the title, Jazz Impressions of Folk Music is first and foremost a showcase for Jones, who turns in some of the most imaginative and vibrant work of his career".Ankeny, J., Allmusic listing accessed August 13, 2014
